Overview
- Veteran right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor publicly declared on Monday that he believes Jaxson Dart “can be the best quarterback in the NFL,” drawing fresh attention to Dart’s ceiling.
- The Giants have committed to building around Dart with the January hiring of John Harbaugh and an offensive staff that includes Matt Nagy, Greg Roman and Brian Callahan to emphasize schemes that use his mobility.
- Analysts such as Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay have projected top‑10 and Pro Bowl potential for Dart if he stays healthy, increasing external expectations for his second season.
- Dart’s 2025 rookie numbers (63.7% completion rate, 2,272 passing yards, 15 TDs, five INTs, and 487 rushing yards with nine rushing TDs) underpin optimism but also highlight concerns about passing accuracy and prior concussion checks.
- The coming tests are measurable: coaches want cleaner pocket mechanics and better self‑preservation from Dart in training camp and early games, and the new additions such as tight end Isaiah Likely and improved line play are meant to give him safer passing options.
